Dream buck taken by Dan’l Anselmo while hunting with his father. The buck was taken with Hoyt’s new Alpha X which Dan’l helped design.
Paxton (11 years of age) was hunting public ground with his dad (Shaun). They spotted this buck and watched it for about an hour in a large open field on private ground. It finally moved out of sight into a small depression, which lead onto public ground if it traveled far enough. They re-positioned and after a short wait it appeared out of the canyon but still on private ground. Then followed the edge of the trees and jumped a fence. Shaun and Paxton we set up against a large fence post to break their outline and the deer walked to 260 yards. Paxton said he could feel his feet shaking as he took the shot. He could not control himself when he counted 14 points and laid down next to the deer with both fists in the air.

Jen’s 2023 el bull hunt. She started elk hunt 30 years ago on that hunt she seen her first elk in the wild and got to harvest a bull that year. 30 years later she finally got to harvest a mature bull. Having hunting all these year and harvest spikes and cows. She has the love and passion for elk hunting. That passion has evolved in years of volunteer work for the rmef where she is on the leaderships team, hoping to make a difference as her legacy for other elk hunters to enjoy these beautiful animals. What a beautiful moment for Jen to finally get to harvest a great mature bull.
My 12 year old twins Dean and Remington harvested their first bucks by pulling a double dropping both bucks on 70 yards apart with one shot each at 600 yards. We practiced all shooting all summer with grandpa and it truly made all the difference when preparation met opportunity.
